    Variable Speed Pump Purchase

    Check your warranty to see when it expires if you install yourself vs having it installed by a pro. I learned the hard way with Pentair pump that went out quickly.

    Automatic Pool Cover with vinyl into the channel instead of webbing

    The pictures certainly answer that very clearly. I'm baffled that a sales guy would say they run vinyl in that channel. Maybe a misunderstood him.

    Automatic Pool Cover with vinyl into the channel instead of webbing

    That's what I was thinking also. I've never seen a sample that included the rope. I'll call them to see if they can bring one over.

    Automatic Pool Cover with vinyl into the channel instead of webbing

    Has anyone seen a cover where the vinyl goes all the way into the channel and around the rope instead of webbing? CoverCare is telling me that's the way their covers are built, but I can't find anything similar on the net. Webbing seems to be the chronic problem on my covers. Thoughts?

    Thanks. Just to be clear, what price point are you considering the Intelliflo and Superflo and Superflo VS? The Intelliflo's I've seen can be purchased for around $850 and the Superflo 2 spd for about $490. Does that correspond with your assumptions? I'm a newb on this stuff.
